The design consists of a radiating lines from a central point which coincides with the end of the casting sprue. The reverse is blank. The design looks like a stylised tree.

The majority of lead tokens are thought to date to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, c. 1600-1800 as increasing numbers of dated tokens are found.Similar tokens are published on the PAS database e.g. WAW-AC9485, PUBLIC-1F7442.Dimensions: diameter: 17.8mm; weight: 1.85g.
